My liberal friends, Congressional Black Caucus members, talk about fighting for the defenseless, the hopeless, and the downtrodden. There is no one more hopeless and voiceless than an unborn baby, but their silence is deafening. I can't hear them. Where are they standing up for their communities, advocating and fighting for their right to life?

Sean Duffy

Remember, there is no situation so completely hopeless that something constructive cannot be done about it. When faced with a minus, ask yourself what you can do to make it a plus. A person practicing this attitude will extract undreamed-of outcomes from the most unpromising situations. Realize that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.

Norman Vincent Peale

Clare Boothe Luce

There are no hopeless situations, sweetheart, only people who have grown hopeless about them. You still have choices you can make.

Realize that there are not hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.

Norman Vincent Peale

I am not fighting a hopeless fight. People who have fought in real fights don't, as a rule.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Everybody can relate to feeling hopeless, at some point in their life, and everybody can relate to fighting for something that's worth fighting for, and everybody can relate to a person in their life that makes them go, "I don't know why you're here right now," but then, at the end of the day, realizing you'd do anything for them.

Jordin Sparks

For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.

Guillermo del Toro

Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all... As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.

Siobhan Fahey

A lot of people thought 'Funcrusher' was super dark and hopeless, and I don't think it was hopeless in any way.

I think another [myth] is that some marriages are just hopeless. This is a common thing I hear from people, "Well, I just think there are some marriages that are hopeless, Dr. Chapman, don't you agree with that?" I say I understand the feeling, but the fact is that there are no marriages that are hopeless.

Gary Chapman

Hopeless situations are never hopeless to God.

Chip Ingram

It seems hopeless, hopeless. Those who eat meat [at public expense] are a mean, selfish lot, and so the country is doomed. Our only hope lies in the grass-roots folk who eat our traditional food.
